Look what Roman sent me :) ESS Software Flash Loader

Ordered and paid last Friday, FedEx called Monday to tell me package arrived. Couldn't believe it. 3 days from US to Austria..... lol

Ive downloaded my ECU file now (took about 40 minutes), just emailed it to ESS for massaging into a beast of a file to go with my Super-sprint catless downpipes. Lets hope 670hp is next...

ADV's still being shipped, so standby for the pics

While I'm typing this post, AJ has just emailed me back (less than 30 minutes from my emailing the OEM ECU file to them), to discuss new map.

Now that's the only way to get software done on your car!!!

It sure beats sending in your ECU. How do you like the X6M compared to NA M engines? Do you miss the M3?

I know it's off topic, but if you live in Austria, why is your car RHD?

Aaaaaand, I feel stupid now. Haha I sorta figured that after I saw your avatar... Well enjoy the X6M. It is one of the cars that seems most pointless and confusing to me, yet one of the cars I wish I had most.

Yes on closer inspection it's manufactured by Dimisport in Italy since late 2009.

LET was selling the same thing on 3/10/2010 looks like they custom built it for LET too? : http://www.eurocharged.com/index.php...mart&Itemid=85

What exactly is your point?

Our DirectFlash unit is especially made for ESS as I stated, and it contains ESS proprietary software only. Some parts of the hardware platform used to load the software is developed by a European hardware company which also provides interface solutions for other companies. Even if one of these similar units are bought from a 3rd company, they still will not provide you with ESS software or ESS support. ESS DirectFlash is simply a delivery platform developed to make it easier for customers to install ESS software.
